Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Video	The women in the experimental group were provided with the relevant forms and asked to complete the Data Collection Form for Women, Self-Care Agency Scale, and Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale for the pretest. Afterward, they received information about the importance of genital hygiene, key points to consider during genital hygiene, and watched a training video developed by the researchers. This video demonstrated genital hygiene practices on a human model, with the researcher explaining and demonstrating the steps in a practical manner. Following the video training, participants completed the same forms again (Data Collection Form for Women, Self-Care Agency Scale, and Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale) for the midterm test. To assess the long-term effects of the training, the participants were asked to complete the same forms 8 weeks after the training.
